Capt. John Zema at Yankee Rose Fishing reported finding a promising bait pile earlier in the week, where the crew managed to pull five stripers before the action fizzled out. The biggest of the bunch measured an impressive 49 inches and was landed by Gerome Scherer. Saturday's trip didn't quite match the success of recent outings. The crew started strong with a good shot of fish, but heavy boat traffic quickly put the bite down. They relocated to another area and managed a few additional bites before that action also tapered off. On a positive note, an enormous amount of bunker is now spread throughout the area, setting the stage for what could be an excellent fall run. Striped bass fishing is heating up, with action improving by the day!
